The Lichachev plant likely did that move since, they wanted to focus their main production efforts, on more modern trucks on the same class, such as the ZIL-131 truck. In 1977 the production of the truck was moved to Novouralsk by the UamZ company. The ZIL-157 truck, like its many predecessors, was mostly intended for use by the Red Army, but it was also popular with forestry companies, and was thus also used as a log truck, specifically the ZIL-157V semi-truck version. The ZIL-157 started being produced in 1958, based on the ZIL-164 truck, as a replacement for the ZIL-151 that was based on the ZIS-150 truck, which was based on the International KR-11 trucks.
